πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

Bevel β€” that's the whole name, bestie. This is Bevel(7x), living in the AfterStep X11 window manager part of the manual, section 7x. It's the little page all about making widgets look 3D and cute. πŸ’…


✨ CONFIGURATION OPTIONS ✨

Okay so here's the full menu of bevel vibes. Pick your fave, mix and match, go feral πŸ¦‹

  • Bottom β€” draws an extra line at the bottom of the widget. Underline energy, but make it 3D ⬇️
  • Extra β€” adds extra thickness to the 3D bevel appearance. Chunky. Sculpted. Obsessed 🧈
  • Left β€” draws an extra line on the Left of the widget.
  • NoInline β€” don't display the frame inside the widget. And heads up: if you use this with no other option, it does the exact same thing as none. Not a single difference. 😭
  • NoOutline β€” don't display the frame around the widget. Same deal as above: used alone, with no other option, it has the same effect as none.
  • None β€” draws absolutely nothing around the widget. The widget is naked. Good for it 🫢
  • Right β€” draws an extra line on the right of the widget.
  • Top β€” draws an extra line on top of the widget.

So by default, all bevels are on, and they default to Extra. Bevels are just a simple way to produce a 3D effect for buttons and widgets in general β€” the original glow-up hack, no filter needed. Depending on the options described below, you can configure this effect to your exact liking. 🌈

Pro tip from the page itself: multiple choices are possible, you just separate the option with a comma. Comma. Not vibes. Comma. ✨

And that's the page, bestie! This lil manual came out of the 3rd Berkeley Distribution, sitting at AfterStep v.2.2.12, and it's filed under Bevel(7x). The footer didn't hand over a date, so that's the whole receipt πŸ§ΎπŸ’– Stay beveled, stay iconic, periodt. πŸŽ€
